Section 43D(5) UAPA | Prima Facie Truth Standard Bars Bail Even After Prolonged Custody : Punjab & Haryana HC
Punjab & Haryana HC reinforces UAPA's stringent bail provisions, holding that mere prolonged incarceration or prior acquittals cannot override the statutory mandate of Section 43D(5) if the accusations appear prima facie true. The ruling underscores the high threshold for bail in terror-related offences, prioritizing national security over individual liberty in such cases.
